* ''TheSookieStackhouseMysteries'' and its {{HBO}} adaptation, ''TrueBlood''. [[spoiler:Okay, he's an {{Animorphism}} shapeshifter. But he gets mistaken for a werewolf. If you read further into TheSookieStackhouseMysteries, it's actually a telepath / vampire/ vampire/ shapeshifter/ werewolf/ werepanther / weretiger LoveDodecahedron.]]
** Though on the other hand, Sookie [[spoiler: breaks up with/kills most of her past lovers before moving onto the next one, so it's not quite such a tangled mess. Not to mention, with Harris' habit of killing off characters left and right, there likely soon won't be any characters left for Sookie to even have a relationship with, let alone have to worry about sparking rivalries.]]
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' book ''Thud'', Angua the werewolf is in a relationship with Carrot, but Sally the vampire develops a crush on him and an intense rivalry develops between the girls, which is only intensified by instinctual FurAgainstFang.
** Actually, the rivalry (and instinctual dislike) seems to be [[ImaginaryLoveTriangle mostly in Angua's mind]]. Sally admits that she's attracted to Carrot, but knows that she doesn't really have a chance; [[MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat his heart beat picks up whenever Angua is around]].
* Somewhat true in [[http://www.patriciabriggs.com/ Patricia Briggs']] MercedesThompson books. The titular character has to choose between two werewolves: teenage crush Samuel and next-door-neighbor Adam, but she also has a rather close relationship with vampire Stefan, whose unrequited crush seems very likely to stay unrequited.
** In the fifth book she [[spoiler:finally chooses Adam,]] but this remains pretty central to the plot for most of the series. However, Stefan is only really a contender in his own mind, as Mercedes has plenty of good reasons to dislike vampires.

* Amusingly subverted in ''Film/{{Underworld}}''. Vampire Kraven ''thinks'' he's in a love triangle with [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Vampire Assassin]] Selene and the series' UnfazedEveryman, Michael. And the werewolves are trying to turn Michael to their side before she gets a hold of him. He's [[IncrediblyLamePun dead wrong]], though, since she thinks he's a power-hungry coward. Hell, at that point in the story, she doesn't even have a romantic interest in Michael yet... Kraven is just so narcissistic as to think she's in love with him, and it infuriates him to even consider that she could choose Michael over him.
** Of course, she ''does'' eventually fall in love with Michael, ''despite'' him being turned into a werewolf against his will. She even tries mightily to protect him from other vampires and herself (considering she usually kills werewolves on sight). Kraven tries to win her over again (despite having been exposed as a traitor to all vampires) and at this time she literally shoots him down, though she fails to kill him (not for lack of trying). [[spoiler:He dies in the second movie]].
